Good question.
I really have nothing against veganism- it just isn't in harmony with my own beliefs since my background is bodybuilding. For someone who doesn't really exert themselves as strenuous as serious bodybuilders do and doesn't need the raw tools for growth and recovery; I think it can work fine when there is enough protein especially in the diet. Calcium and B12 are important and everyone should try and get as much of both from whole foods- but there really isn't a difference in synthetic and natural nutrients such as vitamins and minerals- our body will digest them all the same whether it is from a carrot or a capsule.
I do believe that just as Americans alone we get a sufficient amount of protein in our diets and that since our makeup is protein it is very hard to become deficient in it- I am not a bodybuilder who eats 300 grams of protein a day..I just find it unnecessary.
If there is a particular way of being a vegetarian that I agree with most it is a lacto-ovo vegetarian who simply does not eat any red meat, fish or fowl in their diet but supplements the protein deficiency by adding dairy products such as milk and eggs.
